hi new to this but not the csa to cut a long story short . got divorced in 1990 in court I was asked about maintenance it was agreed by both sides that I signed over the house taking only my cloths with me £47000 on my side was handed to here just so I new my daughter has a stable home to still live in in 2013 December csa wrote to me saying I owe wait for it £20000 and that they don't take into account the house at all please can any one advise me on this as they want listen at all it killing me and my wife of 21 yrs as we don't have any thing like this
Did you receive any previous letters form the CSA? They can't just write to you out of the blue and demand arrears of that amount. Have you moved since the divorce and how long are the arrears for?
The only advice I can give is to,go and see your MP.
Best of luck
hi thanks back in 1994 they got in contact then had a court order on my wages of £106 per week they took it for 5 mths till I finally found a solicitor that would help and it was stopped at my cost again then in 2000 the reared again assessed me again then never got anything back, but every year they sent one standed letter say nil to pay till 2013 dec when I opened the standed letter it said nil to pay but under that it said balance reinstated 19000 , I was gob smacked to say the least so I rang but to no joy they said it still stands iv herd nothing for ten years about a dept. I suppose to owe them , explained again that when I got divorced maintenance was sorted out in court and was agreed in court by both party's I handed over our house solely to her for maintenance which was £47000 my side the judge said that was fair and that's what happened but they still don't take that into account why ? so to cut a long story short iv paid to keep my daughter in our house and provided for her , but they want me to pay again as that is not taken into account
i did and got a letter stating from 1994 till 1997 that's were they got the figure but it still does not add up they just want lesson my main concern is I paid maintenance buy way of giving her the house £47000 I had in it agreed by all in court but csa tell me they will not take that into account , I just can not seem to find out if they can do this
I think you need legal advice on this, can you try CAB
going to see them next week and trying to get a meeting as well with my mp
is there anyone on here that can give me legal advice
I'm afraid you really need specialist legal advice on this - as Huxley said, the Citizens Advice Bureau is your best bet initially.
